- Santa Claus: Yes, she loves all these scenarios a lot!!!

Question #9: Danisthirty places this tile on behalf of Red. The player has the following questions:
a) Which features trigger the scoring of both castles, if more than one, and how many points is worth each of these features? (1 point)
b) How many points does each player score? (1 point)

Notes:
* No meeple is placed in this turn.
* This is a mid-game scenario. The game goes on for a few more turns.
* Red wants to score their castle considering the city.
* Yellow wants to score the most points for their castle, if more than one option is possible.

I have to say, this last question made me study the rules again and update the Carcopedia accordingly... 

Danisthirty You made me go back to school! 

[Willem]

I didn't see the School included! Did I miss it?!

- Meepledrina: Do you want me to translate it for you?
- Meepledrina: How so?

Maybe I'm not sure about 2nd hint. So need to check it in original language  You know, riddles are about synonyms, hidden things, so during translations something can be lost or taken wrong. So I have two solutions, and that blue hint is for me crucial to solve it.

I have the same problem for the italian translation and the spanish one doesn't help!

Thank you for this nice question

[Paloi Sciurala]

I want a question that uses both wonder sets and also the 2-wonders per player variant!

P.S. I would eagerly trade a question like this for Question #8.5.

I feel as though building a bridge over a world heritage site should be illegal...

Don't despair! It is illegal to build a bridge over acrobats. That's enough!

[Bumsakalaka]

Maybe this is just real situation when bridge was there before army was found

what is the name of the expansion double tile?

The tiles that span 5 tiles are the Wonders of Humanity, the tile at the bottom that spans 2 tiles is a German Castle.
